So I went online and looked for ways to prevent strep and stumbled across BLIS K12. If you haven't read the research out there on it you really should. The data is clearly there and points to positive results for many types of ear, nose and throat issues.
I ordered a few bottles and my husband we haven't been sick with strep, not ONCE in 2 years! I asked the doctor if he knew about it and he said, "no, I have not heard of k12, but probiotics aren't proven." What?!? My theory is pharma and doctors can't make money on $11 a bottle... I'm living proof the stuff works. Night and day. Give it time. Don't use it for one week and declare it doesn't work. The bacteria has to colonize. Also read about best practices with oral probiotics. Ex. certain mouthwashes will kill it, the longer you suck on the tablet the better - don't just gulp it down, etc.
So, there are other benefits I found too. When I feel my throat getting a little scratchy or I feel like I might be getting sick, I double the dose. I haven't been sick all winter with anything. I doubled up on the dose to match THROATGUARD (you can look it up). I don't think it's a fluke that I didn't get sick all winter using this protocol.
Do the research...
If you read the studies carefully, this stuff has been proven to have positive effects with both bacterial and viral infections like RSV. Also there are some studies of it helping with middle ear infections. I also encourage you to read the BLIS K12 website as well. There are independent studies as well as sponsored studies so you always have to consider those biases. Many of the studies are on children... not sure the history on that.
My husband and two daughters take it too now.
I've been buying this brand for months because it's the cheapest for the potency I'm looking for.
NOW probiotics:
- 500 million CFU per lozenge.
- 60 lozenges per bottle.
- Usually costs around $8.
- Needs refrigeration after opening.
BLIS probiotics:
- 2.5 billion CFU per lozenge.
- 30 lozenges per bottle.
- Usually costs around $18
- No refrigeration needed.
When I use the NOW probiotics, I put two lozenges in my mouth after I brush my teeth at night. This method gets the best results because there's limited salivary flow when you sleep, so the bacteria have 8 hours to grow and colonize. To make it more effective, I use Tom's of Maine Prebiotic toothpaste. It contains inulin, a fiber that feeds the good bacteria in the mouth. By brushing my teeth with this toothpaste first, I'm giving the NOW probiotics something to feast on and grow.
I started taking this and noticed the change immediately. The best time to take it is before going to bed at night. I let two pills slowly dissolve near the back of my throat. In the morning after taking the pills I noticed that sometimes my nasal passages remained open overnight. The white coating on my tongue is gone. The best thing to happen is the fresher breath. My mouth feels less dry.
If you suffer from chronic sinus problems please give this a try. It works. I also use a nasal spray containing xylitol.
